Abstract

To investigate the pathogenesis of accelerated bone formation in estrogen deficiency, diffusion chambers containing osteoblast-like cells isolated from newborn rat calvariae were transplanted into the peritoneal cavity of sham-operated (sham), ovariectomized (OVX) rats, and OVX rats with supplement of 17 beta-estradiol (OVX + E2). Bone formation in the diffusion chambers transplanted into OVX rats was more accelerated than that transplanted into sham rats and OVX + E2 rats. Osteoblast-like cells cultured with the sera isolated from OVX rats exhibited higher levels of the DNA content in the culture wells, alkaline phosphatase activity, messenger RNA expression for alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin, calcium content in the cell layer, and formation of bone-like nodules than those exposed to the sera from sham rats and OVX + E2 rats. Antibody against IGF-I almost completely inhibited the increase in DNA contents induced by the sera isolated from OVX rats but partially inhibited alkaline phosphatase activity. Adding IGF-I to the sera isolated from sham rats increased the DNA content to the same extent as that induced by the supplement with the sera from OVX rats but did not increase alkaline phosphatase activity appreciably.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
